Apartment with style; Hot Property.

Byline: Kate Wolfe

ACCORDING to social surveys Moseley's Cambridge Road is one of the city's most affluent areas, inhabited by successful, mature, people who relax by fully enjoying the city good life.

They immerse themselves in the arts, antiques, wining, dining, entertaining and theatregoing.

So, it is unsurprising that the cellar of this elegant ground floor garden apartment, is currently a bar rather than a second bedroom!

The central heated apartment, converted from one of Cambridge Road's imposing Victorian villas, is on sale through Chamberlains' Moseley branch at pounds 149,950, leasehold.

Minton tiles, decorative wall panelling and stained glass panes in the communal entrance hall set the tone of the tree-lined road. The apartment's private hallway, from which stairs lead down to the cellar, has decorative wall panelling.

The laminate floored 14ft 11in lounge, with its corniced ceiling and stone feature fireplace inset with an electric fire, is lit by the large front bay window.

The kitchen's wall and base units incorporate an inbuilt oven, four-ring electric hob and extractor hood, one and a half bowl sink and a breakfast bar.

An outer lobby leads to the recently refurbished white-fitted bathroom, with a mosaic tiled floor, decorative wood wall panelling and a glassscreened mains power shower over the bath.

The lit understairs storage space could become an office space.

The 14ft 2in by 13ft 2in master bedroom overlooks the rear, where decorative shingle around a block paved pathway leads to a lawn, fringed by hedging and mature trees. There are adjacent storage outbuildings, an outside w.c. and a side gate to the garden from the frontage.

The heated 17ft 7in by 11ft 11in cellar has wall and ceiling light points, decorative wooden dado rail and a wall-mounted extractor fan.
